“…The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the global incidence of TB in 2012 was 8.6 million cases, with 1.3 million deaths, predominantly occurring in developing countries ( 1 - 6 ). The Stop TB program, developed by the WHO and its partners, aims to reduce the burden of disease in accordance with the global targets set for 2015 ( 2 , 7 , 8 ). Tuberculosis is the second cause of death from infectious diseases after HIV in the world ( 9 ).…”

Background:Despite effective diagnosis and treatment, prevalence of tuberculosis (TB) is still growing. The directly observed treatment, short-course (DOTS) strategy to treat TB was introduced by the World Health Organization more than a decade ago. Little is known about patients’ experience of TB treatment, according to DOTS, in Iran.Objectives:This study aimed to understand the patients’ experience of tuberculosis treatment according to DOTS in Iran.Patients and Methods:This study is a qualitative study, using content analysis to examine patients’ experience of TB treatment and to understand their compliance during DOTS. In this study, a semi-structured interview with open questions was answered by 40 patients, who had a diagnosis of pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis, and improved during the course of their treatment. The method of sampling was purposive sample and the interview process lasted until data saturation.Results:Data analysis resulted in the extraction of six themes, which reflect the experiences of the study participants. The themes are: 1) individual factors; 2) change of the attitudes and beliefs of patients on TB treatment; 3) support terms of patients with tuberculosis; 4) the role of health care professionals; 5) social factors and 6) the financial burden.Conclusions:Successful completion of TB treatment requires an effective partnership between the patient and health care professionals, and a harmony between the cultural context, attitude of the patient, family support and health literacy. Future health policies should address these issues to improve patients’ adherence to DOTS.

Méningo-encéphalite tuberculeuse révélée par des troubles psychiatriques: à propos d’un cas

2017

La méningo-encéphalite tuberculeuse est une pathologie assez fréquente dans les pays endémiques, et représente la forme la plus sévère de la tuberculose. L’échec thérapeutique est fréquent à cause du retard diagnostique. Ce retard est essentiellement dû au grand polymorphisme clinique et notamment en raison des formes trompeuses. Ce travail expose le cas clinique rare d’une méningite tuberculeuse se présentant sous forme d’un tableau psychiatrique typique au cours de sa phase prodromique.

“…In fact, Tunisia is an intermediate tuberculosis endemic country with a reported incidence of 30/100,000 population in 2012 and a reported prevalence of 28.8/100,000 inhabitants in 2018. 1,2 Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine has been made mandatory in Tunisia, since 1954. BCG vaccines should be given as soon as possible after birth (age when most of children are vaccinated).…”

Central nervous system (CNS) BCGitis is a rare but a very severe complication of the Bacille Calmette–Guerin (BCG) vaccine. It could be a diagnostic challenge that may lead to a delay in treatment. A 5-month-old boy presented with infantile spasms, had posted natal BCG vaccination and developed brain tuberculomas as brain BCGitis. Laboratory findings were normal. He received 14 months of antitubercular regimen with good tolerance and both clinical and radiological improvement. The main difficulty in brain BCGitis is to make a diagnosis that requires histological or bacteriological examination. A good evolution without sequel could be seen if it is treated early.
